First Beet Harvest In Poplar Area
The 1997 Sugar Beet harvest is off to a good start at the Richard/Rita Nygard farm west of Poplar. They have 250 acres of sugar beets under pivot irrigation. This is the first year they have had sugar beets on their farm. All beet farmers hope for a yield of 20 ton to the acre and 20% sugar content.
The beets were planted the first part of May. Harvest started Sept. 19th for the early sugar beets. The beets are topped and then dug with a row digger. They dig 4-5 acres per hour. The beets are then loaded on trucks which haul 26-33 ton per load. The beets are hauled to Holly Sugar in Sidney. It's about a 70 mile haul and takes 4-5 hours to make a roundtrip. Each load is weighed and a sugar sample is taken. The longer a beet stays in the ground the more tonage and hopefully more sugar content.
The sugar beets are running 24 ton to the acre and 17.9% sugar content. The regular beet harvest will begin Oct. 1. Expected completion date for the beet harvest is around Oct. 10.
Richard/Rita have prepared 920 acres of land for the 1998 sugar beet year. All due to Holly Sugar's Plant expansion, Holly Sugar la expanding the acres to many of the other area farmers.

Diabetes can happen anytime, to anyone. Almost 16 million Americans hare diabetes, and just last year 178,000 U.S. Citizens died from complications of the disease. That's why it's important to seek a cure.

Montana will have walks in Billings, Butte, Missoula, Helena, Great Falls, Bozeman, Havre, Thompson Falls, Kalispell and Sidney.
People who raise at least $50 in contributions and pledges will receive a T-shirt. Other prices can be earned for additional pledges.
Dawn Eckhardt, eastern regional director for the American Diabetes Association said, "We are encouraging people to walk in teams." A pizza party will be awarded to the team with the highest amount of contributions.
Seventy-five percent of the funds will stay In Montana to help the 53,000 Montanans who have diabetes by support educational programs, camps, and the 1-800 diabetes hotline. The remaining 25 percent will go to a number of areas, including research, education, youth services and advocacy.
Registration for the three or six-mile event is 12:30 to 1:30 at Central Park. At 1:30 the walk begins winding through residential and business sections of Sidney, with the shorter course available for those who so desire. Rest stops are provided along the way.
